Features: This book emphasizes the understanding and mastery of fundamental concepts, methods, and principles in mechanics, as well as the application of theory in engineering practice to cultivate students' abilities in analyzing and solving problems. The book is divided into two parts, totaling 12 chapters. Part I Statics includes fundamental concepts of statics, synthesis of plane force systems, equilibrium conditions of plane force systems and their applications, equilibrium problems of wheel and axle components, and centers of gravity. Part II Mechanics of Materials includes an overview of mechanics of materials, axial tension and compression, shear and bearing, torsion of circular shafts, bending, combined deformation, stability of columns, dynamic stress and alternating stress. Each chapter concludes with a summary, discussion questions, and exercises, with selected answers provided. This book is suitable as a teaching text for engineering mechanics courses of approximately 70 hours for near-mechanical majors in vocational and technical colleges. It can also be referenced by technicians and professionals in mechanical and related fields in adult higher education institutions.
